Candidates

Democratic

Robert Byrd, incumbent U.S. Senator

Republican

Cleve Benedict, U.S. Congressman first elected in 1980

Campaign

Benedict, a freshman congressman, made great note of Byrd's record of high office in the Ku Klux Klan, his avoidance of service in World War II, and the fact that Byrd, then alone among members of Congress, owned no home in the state he represented. His campaign represented the last serious and well-funded effort to unseat Byrd, spending $1,098,218. Byrd was Minority Leader at the time.
